Metal music listeners more intelligent?

Notice how higher-IQ European countries like Sweden, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, etc. have more metalheads, while mixed-caste low-IQ shitholes like the USA, Canada, and England have few and treat their metalheads with scorn.

Questions for those who disagree:

1. What's the percentage of people who listen to metal in the countries mention, and the average IQs of each?

No real surprises here, apart from demonstrating how IQ doesn't correlate very well with intelligence, it shows us that despite a few rare metalheads being intelligent, the majority are dumbasses. I don't know why that is difficult to accept.

There is a factor that may be distorting the results a bit: are the IQs adjusted for age? Other than that, the data indeed suggests that metal-heads as a group may be the laggards. However, I would like to know what the margin of error is in the study before drawing any conclusions.

Also, the data seems to indicate a bias toward IQs for those who listen to music outside of the mainstream, though methinks the exceptions of reggae and gospel could be attributed to racial IQ differences, though compared to an average population with the same racial composition, I would wager it would be higher.

If we look at more obvious ideals expressed within metal-esque music we can see hate, anger, frustration and in certain examples despair. I can be assumed that these more apparent facets of metal and metal like music is what draws many towards it.

I think that those who feel alienated do so for a reason, which could very well be in some cases a higher intelligence. But of course not always, and is probably more of a case of poor family relations and lack of values that bring many to metal.

It should be made a point that it is not what one listens to but why that is important. I do not think it is important that intelligent people listen to metal unless for the same reasons we here do.

His actual raw data is unavailable, and his methodology is totally unexplained. Not to mention, that this is a blog entry.

I think the figures for rap were correct. The New Age stats are suspect.

The fact remains that metal is caste-divided:

25% intelligent Demilich fans75% bloviating Cannibal Corpse fans

Assuming those percentages are correct, let's do some estimating...

If the average IQ of a Demilich fan is 120 and the average Cannibal Corpse fan is around 95, then with those percentages the average IQ of metalheads is 101.25, a little above average. If Demilich fans managed to score an average IQ of 125 then the total mean would come out at 102.5. However, if Cannibal Corpse fans were a little dumber than I estimated say, 93, that brings us back to 101.

Now, if as I suspect, the Cannibal Corpse fans actually outnumber the Demilich fans by far more than what you have said, say 9 : 1, then metalheads are struggling to make 100.

Surely now the epileptoids who lack the mental balls to work as a cashier or an accountant for a multinational company are blushing. They're obviously more intelligent because they happen to listen to shitty Morbid Angel and Deicide albums, haha. First, you must define what you think as intelligent because there are two types of what we think of as intelligent.There is the geek type of intelligent, you know the overeducated type who buries himself in a ton of books and never seems to see real life beyond the halls of academe. People of this sort choose to find solutions to problems through the creation of theories.Then we have the person who solves problems in real time because this type of individual choose to live in the real world than to hide like a maggot in a university library.Who do you think of the two is smarter?

You have a point, but created a false distinction. Surely library worms exist, and realists exist, but the groups are not exclusive. Proof: Thomas Aquinas.

Neither. Intelligence describes reasoning power, which is unrelated to what one chooses to do with that power. A good example is the politician, who attempts to solve real problems but is most often a moron.
